Who can qualify for Carer Payment and how do I apply?

A ClaimWise Team Answered by

Carer Payment is for people who provide constant care to someone with a severe disability, illness or an adult who is frail aged. Eligibility can depend on the level of care required, your income and assets, and the person’s circumstances, with Services Australia making the final decision. You may need medical reports and other supporting information when you claim. Check the current rules and application process at servicesaustralia.gov.au or speak with Services Australia about your situation.
